9.2. Defining the layout of the Red Hat Developer Hub Home page
The Home page uses a 12-column grid to position your cards. You can use the optimal parameters to define the layout of your Developer Hub Home page.
Prerequisites
Include the following optimal parameters in each of your breakpoints:
- width (w)
- height (h)
- position (x and y)
Procedure
Configure the layout of the cards on the home page by entering one of the following configurations in your Developer Hub
app-config.yaml
file.- Use the full space on smaller windows and half of the space on larger windows as shown in the following example:
dynamicPlugins: frontend: red-hat-developer-hub.backstage-plugin-dynamic-home-page: mountPoints: - mountPoint: home.page/cards importName: Placeholder config: layouts: xl: { w: 6, h: 2 } lg: { w: 6, h: 2 } md: { w: 6, h: 2 } sm: { w: 12, h: 2 } xs: { w: 12, h: 2 } xxs: { w: 12, h: 2 } props: showBorder: true debugContent: a placeholder
-
Show the cards side by side by defining the
x
parameter as shown in the following example:
dynamicPlugins: frontend: red-hat-developer-hub.backstage-plugin-dynamic-home-page: mountPoints: - mountPoint: home.page/cards importName: Placeholder config: layouts: xl: { w: 6, h: 2 } lg: { w: 6, h: 2 } md: { w: 6, h: 2 } sm: { w: 12, h: 2 } xs: { w: 12, h: 2 } xxs: { w: 12, h: 2 } props: showBorder: true debugContent: left - mountPoint: home.page/cards importName: Placeholder config: layouts: xl: { w: 6, h: 2, x: 6 } lg: { w: 6, h: 2, x: 6 } md: { w: 6, h: 2, x: 6 } sm: { w: 12, h: 2, x: 0 } xs: { w: 12, h: 2, x: 0 } xxs: { w: 12, h: 2, x: 0 } props: showBorder: true debugContent: right
However, you can see a second card below this card by default.
-
Show the cards in three columns by defining the
x
parameter as shown in the following example:
dynamicPlugins: frontend: red-hat-developer-hub.backstage-plugin-dynamic-home-page: mountPoints: - mountPoint: home.page/cards importName: Placeholder config: layouts: xl: { w: 4, h: 2 } lg: { w: 4, h: 2 } md: { w: 4, h: 2 } sm: { w: 6, h: 2 } xs: { w: 12, h: 2 } xxs: { w: 12, h: 2 } props: showBorder: true debugContent: left - mountPoint: home.page/cards importName: Placeholder config: layouts: xl: { w: 4, h: 2, x: 4 } lg: { w: 4, h: 2, x: 4 } md: { w: 4, h: 2, x: 4 } sm: { w: 6, h: 2, x: 6 } xs: { w: 12, h: 2 } xxs: { w: 12, h: 2 } props: showBorder: true debugContent: center - mountPoint: home.page/cards importName: Placeholder config: layouts: xl: { w: 4, h: 2, x: 8 } lg: { w: 4, h: 2, x: 8 } md: { w: 4, h: 2, x: 8 } sm: { w: 6, h: 2 } xs: { w: 12, h: 2 } xxs: { w: 12, h: 2 } props: showBorder: true debugContent: right
